exhaust and air filter recommendations
As a newcomer to dodge cummins ownership, I'd appreciate some recomendations from those of you having experience with the variety of exhaust and air filter upgrades that are out there.
I have an '01 4x4 with the 5-speed manual and I'm looking to upgrade to a 4" exhaust and aftermarket aircleaner assembly. Shopping around has shown me that there are numerous options to choose from.
I'd like to hear from folks who have had a good (or bad) experience with the purchase, installation, and operation of particular air cleaner and exhaust systems.
Thanks much for your input.

it depends on what your plans are? what othre mods do you want to do to it? if your just doing an cold air intake then all you need to do to the exhaust is have it straight piped, all you will need is like a 3' (i think) pice of pipe and cut the muffler and smoke canister off.
any ways you go with exhaust just straight pip it, you dont need the mufflers.
as for mine its a 99 and i have a airraid cold air quick fit, basicly all you do is pull the top of the air box off and the kit comes with a new top that clips in like the stock one but it has a big *** filter on it then connect the intake tube and your done.
i like the airraid and will recommend that from experince.
where are you located? and any other questions?.

Screw that cheap stuff, dont even waste your money on it unless you want to purchase an overhaul kit in a year..
AFE is about as good as they get for intakes and MBRP is hands down the highest quality 4" exhaust system manufacturer you will find.
If you plan on doing any other mods later one, you'll be glad you purchased those first..

There's a sneaker series muffler here which I might order so I wont have any problems during inspections.

why would you have to worrie about inspection? diesels are safty inspection only and in texas you dont have to have a muffler. mine has the factory pipe on it but minus the muffler.

TurbodLS1TA Im still waiting on my quadzilla intake that Kyle Graham was supposed to send me. Anyway, I have the aeroturbine exhaust and it is nice. Not too loud at all. If you want to go cheap and can get away with it just straight pipe it.
